Felixe hands the potion back to Pelagos. "It will greatly enhance your vision for a while," she says. While she glances at the journal, she listens to the miners, and asks, "Did you captors say anything about a great winged beast?" To the others, she says, "They may even have this thing chained up down below."

Felixe doesn't give Justin's comment a second glance (she has some occasional language problems too, 'cat' being her first real language).

Noticing the satchel, Felixe picks it up, and whistles to Katya. Once again, the swarm diminishes to a single cat, damp with the blood of kobolds. He leaps onto her shoulder. "I suggest we make haste," she says to the others as she heads for the door.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Hissing and spitting, the swarm of cats moves over to engulf several more kobolds (8, 9, 10) near Nali.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Felixe urges her pet(s) toward the newly arrived kobolds. The swarm of black fur washes over two of them like a wave of fur and claws.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
"Apparently, they aren't interested in diplomacy. Fine." She looks down at her cat. "Katya, get 'em," she says at the cat multiplies into hundreds of identical animals and begins to move forward.
The swarm of cats moves forward to encompass one of the kobolds (#2).

after identifying the items, Felixe makes sure the others know what there is- +1 studded leather armor, 2 potions of CLW, and a scimitar Felixe is already wary and happy to not be the one to go first.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Felixe uses a detect magic cantrip on the items and attempts to identify the potions.

Felixe moves forward with her scimitar trying to slash away some of the vines and branches before they envelop the unconscious man.

"Everyone stop! Those plants are quite dangerous. Most of the skeletons are among heart-eaters. Avoid those at all costs," she says pointing them out. "That man there appears to have fallen to Xtabay pollen. It has a soporific affect. If you cover your mouth and nose, Kolard, you may be able to grab him. But be careful."

i was hoping to start a new one with Felixe as well. The GM in the other game said he'd probably start a bit late because of all of the board issues earlier. But I can always go with another character if this one is still going.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Felixe says nothing as the cat bounds away, but tells Nali that it does not appear to be hostile, merely hungry and curious.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Felixe narrows her eyes at Nali's not-so-veiled threat. Felixe sees no need to be so rude. Why kill an animal not for food and not for defense? But considering Nali can probably kick her ass, it isn't worth fighting over. Hmph. She moves a little back away from the edge and pulls out a whistle used to train/ call cats. She gives it a few sharp blows. Katya swats her hand annoyed at the high pitched noise, but aside from that, the others hear nothing.
Cat: She pulls a few cat treats out of a pocket, gives one to the old cat on her shoulders, and sets a few more down on the ground.
"Hello, he that prowls the darkness. We must know if you mean us harm. Have we strayed into you territory? Or do you follow a dark master? Come forth, and speak with me, if you will. I have prepared a gift for your trouble." wild empathy: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Felixe looks around as well to see if there's any easy way down.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
I believe we will be done with our game by Oct 1. If not, I've got back-ups who should work fine.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Felixe addresses the others as they travel. "Hmm. Just so you know. There is some sort of cat following us, and it isn't one of mine." She strokes her cat's head, hanging down from her shoulder. "If it gets closer, I may be able to speak with it. For the time being, it's... rude, to point out to the cat that you've seen it. So just pretend."
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
if they have any reasonably clean containers, I can provide them with extra water to take with them

Felixe moves to aid the miners. "Rest easy. We will see you safe."
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Katya confirms Nali's report. Cat: With a series of rowls, she jumps back on Felixe's shoulder, curling around her neck.
"The ape thing is truly wrong. It does not belong in this world." She nods to Nali. "All right, you've got point. Please be careful."
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
"Who?" Felixe asks Palagos. GM and Nali: Katya is no stranger to the smell of death. Death is part of life and necessary to continue the cycle of predator and prey. But this is something else. Something wrong. Her hair stands on end as the wind shifts carrying the smell of the hideous humanoid comes out into the clearing. The unnatural corpse creature that follows it adds to the disturbing scene. She's glad there is a two-leg with her. If nothing else, two-legs usually provide a welcome distraction should she need to run away. My companion should not come here. This is an evil place. Though perhaps, with the others, they could destroy these creatures.
if it will help, Katya can roll kn:local-kn:local: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 if Felixe is within a mile, she would feel the emotions of fear and nervousness, mixed with more than a little disgust
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
@GM: Katya has a speed of 30', a stealth of +16, low-light vision, and scent. Felixe speaks cat, so they can talk back and forth Felixe kneels down to eye level with the cat. She makes a series of meows, growls and rowls. Cat:
"Katya, please go take a look at the mining camp. We just need an idea of what we're walking into. This is just a standard scout mission. Be careful and quiet and I promise I'll give you some cat treats afterwards." The cat lowers its ears and flicks its tail. Felixe sighs and digs out a couple of pieces of jerky for the cat. Satisfied, Katya slinks off in the direction of the camp.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Felixe nods to Pelagos. "I'm a fair scout, but Katya here," she says indicating the grizzled cat, "is phenomenal." The cat lazily opens one eye at the sound of her name and yawns. "Really, she is," Felixe says gently putting her down on the ground.

Felixe isn't thrilled about charging in like this, but she's willing to put up the gold for a potion. She makes a mental note to prepare the spell herself next time they have the opportunity. "Very well, let's get going." With a nod of her head, her ragged black cat hops up on top of her shoulder and drapes himself across her neck.
F Human SwarmMonger(Druid)-3 | HP 27/27 | AC 16, T 11 FF 15 CMD 14 | F+6 R+3 W+7 | Init+1 Perception+11 | Cat swarms:3/3
Felixe respects enthusiasm, but doesn't like to sweat that much. "I can probably help us travel a bit more comfortably, but it would take us longer. On the other hand, those of us with armor might be in better shape when we arrive," she says, pointing out Xiao's lack of encumbering armor.

Felixe makes several strange trills to her haggard looking cat. cat: The cat rowls back at her."He wants to test us, Katya." cat:
"The nerve!" She steps over to a window, looks outside and sniffs the air... survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23... and accurately predicts the weather for the next 48 hours. Since that will take some time (48 hours, in fact) to verify, she sighs. "Very well. Please stand back. Katya!" Where there was one large, mostly black, raggedy cat, there are now hundreds, howling, hissing and spitting, making the most ungodly racket imaginable. What's more, they move as a swarming mass of fur and claw, even partially climbing up the wall, and spilling out one of the windows to cling to the outside of the building. The chair under the window is reduced to splinters as the cats move over it, continuing their almost hypnotically undulating movement. "Thank you, Katya. I think that will do." With that, the swarm is gone, and the ragged cat is singular once again. She growls, coughs up a piece of wood, and curls into a ball on the floor.

Felixe strides with almost feline grace on to the boat. Her cat sits on her shoulder, making chirping noises. "I'm sure the boat is quite safe. Yes, I know you don't like getting wet." She does her best to make herself comfortable as well. She's a little annoyed at the captain's manner of speech, but passes it off as efficiency. She smiles inwarrdly at the oread. Wake him for dinner? Ha, he has more in common with a cat than he may know.

Felixe smiles unexpectedly and approvingly upon hearing about Nali's "first prey." She whispers a few odd sounds to her ragged cat, who has leapt up onto the back of a chair next to her. Cat language: The cat looks her in the eye and seems to nod several times during this whispering as if he's following along. Finally he makes an approving "mrowl" sound as he butts his head against hers.
"Oh my! She seems very interesting. I'm sure you'll approve of her hunting abilities." She goes on to translate exactly what Nali said. "Yes, will we be riding, going by boat, or what?"
